When SUSE has worked for me it's worked quite well. Unfortunately for me
that's only about every other release. How they can f**k up the hardware
detection from each .x release still baffles me. The virtual application
that Novel offered ( SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 ) did not impress me (
errors initializing, video and network problems ). The Ubuntu VMware
virtual application blew it out of the water.
